SummaryA sheriff with a stone-cold reputation. An innocent madam
hell-bent on disturbing his peace. Who will be the first to
give in?
Rebecca Hamilton passed through life as bland as
biscuits—until the day she buried her father and fled
out West with a fortune in stolen jewelry. She arrives in
Gardiner, Texas to find her aunt has bequeathed to her the
only whorehouse in town.
With no other prospects except a proposal from a tall, dark
stranger wearing a badge, Rebecca decides to embrace her
vibrant aunt's legacy and never again live under the thumb
of an overbearing man.
After years of cultivating a reputation as a ruthless
lawman, Adam Caldwell can't believe he's offered to marry
the quiet, rather plain new madam. Even more perplexing is
the fact she turns him down, choosing instead to become a
sass-talkin', sashay-walkin' vision in feathers and lace.
With an innocent madam wanting him to teach her to be as
wicked as she looks and rowdy townsfolk split over the
scandal, the sheriff figures his cup of troubles is about
full. But a man from Rebecca's past catches up with her, and
Adam has to decide just how much he's willing to sacrifice
for the woman who refuses to give up on becoming Miss Becky.
